Abstract

Neglect behavior appears to be the complex resultant of a number of concurrent elementary deficits of different levels of severity and with different modes of interaction depending on the patient. This chapter outlines some of the putative elementary deficits of attention, motor preparation, and working memory that may contribute to neglect behavior.
